由于全球资源需求和大规模的保护干预措施，当地对“野生”、共有的陆地和水生资源的获取正在减少。许多理论认为，野生收割者的福祉可以通过向其他生计过渡、改善基础设施和市场准入来支持。然而，新的理论认为，这种好处可能并不总是发生，因为它们是依赖于环境的，并在幸福的各个方面有所不同。我们通过比较野生收获和其他生计如何与热带地区10，800户家庭在不同背景下的粮食安全和生活满意度相关联来测试这些理论。野生收获与偏远、资产贫乏和改造较少的地区的高幸福感相吻合。然而，总的来说，幸福感随着电力基础设施、靠近城市和家庭资本的增加而增加。这为大自然对人类的贡献的背景依赖性提供了大规模的确认，并表明需要保持当地野生资源的获取，同时投资于公平获得基础设施，市场和技能。
Local access to "wild," common-pool terrestrial and aquatic resources is being diminished by global resource demand and large-scale conservation interventions. Many theories suggest the well-being of wild harvesters can be supported through transitions to other livelihoods, improved infrastructure, and market access. However, new theories argue that such benefits may not always occur because they are context dependent and vary across dimensions of well-being. We test these theories by comparing how wild harvesting and other livelihoods have been associated with food security and life satisfaction in different contexts across ∼10,800 households in the tropics. Wild harvests coincided with high well-being in remote, asset-poor, and less-transformed landscapes. Yet, overall, well-being increased with electrical infrastructure, proximity to cities, and household capitals. This provides large-scale confirmation of the context dependence of nature's contributions to people, and suggests a need to maintain local wild resource access while investing in equitable access to infrastructure, markets, and skills.
